The process of making art is akin to being "swamped"

Art making can be complex but it is not necessarily for all artists an overwhelming proposition. I would like to believe that there must be creative people out there with uncluttered minds. "sigh"
I happen to be the owner of a cluttered and swollen heap of embedded images that swim and and bang around in my head. I constantly collect images, information and ideas and need to purge them on a daily basis.
Fortunately, sketching early in the morning leads me to a drainage site that gives access to my most immediate particulates of subconscious and conscious debris. It is during the early hours that I am able to download new material for my paintings. Sometimes these are in the form of pencil sketches, and at other times full blown mini paintings.
